Swimming Cardio Workout

Good morning my favorite readers!

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous around these parts for the past couple of days. I couldn't let another sunshine day go to waste so I headed outside for the majority of yesterday.

Pool time it was!

Since my doctor said no exercise at all, I wanted to at least move a little bit. So I came up with this swimming workout for 30 minutes. Obviously I was going alot slower and not putting any weight on my bad knee, but it was still intense. This left me out of breath a few times!

The tricep dips were done against the ladder, but you could also do them against the pool side. Here are some links if you're not familiar with the strokes.

Side Leaps

After that workout for me I was more than ready for lunch. I quickly packed up a little snack style lunch to enjoy on the deck. Some rice crackers with hummus for dipping, raspberry chobani yogurt, and red grapes. (<---grapes are only $.99 a lb at Stop and Shop this week!)
